Default Lots White smoke on idle. UPDATE its more blue than white.

ok its not a ford but a s13 200sx ca18det. Went out yesterday and when the car was warm and on idle it started to smoke really bad but when i started to drive to go back home it stopped alltogether but as soon as i stopped again it smoked again. im thinking the turbo has had it? any ideas?

Cheers for any help in advance.

is the turbo water cooled?

if so try bypassing the water part of it and see if that cures it

but does sound like the turbo is on its way out

is the car over heating or anything

oil water mix
